Monroe County, located in lower east Tennessee, was established shortly after the signing of the Calhoun Treaty by the Cherokee in 1819, which relinquished the area to the United States. The Calhoun Treaty ceded all remaining Cherokee claims north of the Tennessee and Hiwassee Rivers, except a narrow strip in the mountains along the North Carolina line, between the Hiwassee River and the Little Tennessee River. These records would have been recorded a the time shortly after the removals and represent some of the first settlers in the area.
